When Henry came to America he was listed as a sailor in Hanover, Germany, he settled at first in Cleveland, Ohio, then moved to Louisville, Kentucky, then to New Albany before moving up to Seymour. I have a newspaper article that my dad Harold Alwes gave me, that had the obituary of Henry in it. It tells of his death, a life insurance policy of two thousand dollars and he was a member of the German M. E. Church for 25 years. It does not say where he was buried, only that a service was held at his church and his body was placed in a vault.
